    lets talk engines. your list of the best engines ever made and the future of them.

    yeah ford duratecs great motors, could pile some miles on them. The 2.3L HSC was a great longevity motor, small on power but dead reliable. The zetecs are pretty much the same way. The 4 cyl motors in the early cavaliers and chryslers where pretty low maint and ran good, even leaking oil like a...

    how to re apply door molding?

    alot of double sided tape works like crap both 3M and other brands, there are some liquid versions that work well. I wish I could find the same stuff that comes on the factory emblems/mouldings that stuff holds like heck vs aftermarket stuff. If you have a high end shop in you area ask them what...

    Finally got some CLEAN runs in at the track!

    good sofar, waiting to see once you get her set up and knock down your 60ft. any idea what she has for torque ? hp #'s look decent enough. I think the big head theory will come in high in the revs vs some of the smaller head motors. geared right ( tranny & rear ) I think she could scream.

    The idiots on the road, my short story

    I was headed to the cape this past week for little vaca with the wife. I made the trek via the pike and 495 and volume was heavy, not a problem usually. Now we all know it's no big secret that drivers over time are getting more pushy and of less skill. I have seen some really crazy moves over...

    What's in my oil?

    I'm thinking you have a small coolant leak. I have seen small leaks before that will fool the hell out of many people, the leak could be small enough that you will not notice much loss in the rad or overflow but enough to foul the oil. I'm not thinking head gasket but maybe like Josh stated...

    Water in oil, is this normal?

    so not normal. even after a top end job you may have to change the oil once after a short run but that should be it. either the head gasket is suspect or the intake is leaking, very easy for the intake to leak. a compression/leak down will give you some info but you are looking at a tear down. I...

    Where can I get a 1993 Mustang GT Body Kit?

    IMHO go to the cervini website and look at the cobra conversion kit. you can choose to buy it with the stalker bumper or not. when I was doing my resto project I 1st started with rear bumper that 50rest carries ( original ford tooling) it fit for crap and I fixed/refinished my old one and sold...
